"Together with her producer and label partner Zero Cash, they have created a new sound by combining elements of oldschool hip-hop with contemporary electronic minimalism: swirling bass lines, reduced claps and kicks, and skillfully placed, extremely smart samples. 'My Shit Is On' is a yummy dance floor snack. And thanks to its B-boy attitude, it refers directly to the 1980s, with a strong focus on the fun factor of hiphop. Right in time, Maral Salmassi and Zero Cash have revitalized the lost content in contemporary hiphop, and present it in with new rocking beat structures. 'My Shit Is On' comes together with three club mixes from Zero Cash, Bird Peterson -- the hot U.S. producer -- and the Berlin-based party aces Nhan and Taan. Zero Cash's remix is a kind of 4-to-the-floor version of the original: though it sticks to the song structure, it is full of disco and bounce! Bird Peterson comes up with a laid-back beat, and a fantastic mix of vocals and power chords. And Nhan and Taan offer a varied menu of smashing beats and heavy bass."

"With this new record, Maral Salmassi presents two extremely pushing remixes of the club hit 'Fire Gem,' which was originally released on Television Rocks in 2007 and listed in the charts of well-known DJs such as Shir Khan, Punks Jump Up and Digitalism. In his remix, Hamburg-based Bastian Heerhorst aka Fukkk Off throws a mixed menu of smashing beats and funky cut-up bits in your face. This track is even more aggressive than his hit single 'I'm A Freak.' More breaks and samples make this remix a real sensation. The appeal of the Acid Kid's remix lies in the boombastic beats and breaks and the skillful use of samples taken from the original version. The earlier Acid Kids single release on Television Rocks appeared on the charts of DJs such as Malente, Khan, etc. And this remix will definitely be a worthy, breathtaking successor."

"Television Rocks is proud to present Maral Salmassi's brand new maxi release: Natural Fun. Together with Zero Cash, both will definitely paint the town red with 4-to-the-floor and crazy spinning beats, beastly vocals, smashing drums and insane sounds which are shining out from the mass of the usual club tunes. 'Natural Fun' is the ultimate dancefloor smasher. A real thriller, bathed in hip-hop and spiced with rave elements. And two fat club mixes are rounding off this yummy record: on the A-side, Zero Cash rocks the floor with disco bass and shrieking acid tunes. And Maral's chopped-up vocal bits turn this track into a pushing club monster. The Ben Mono remix comes along with a deep, bombastic grooving beat paired with power chords and rocking vocals. Altogether, this Natural Fun release rocks!"

"Maral Salmassi is back with a vengeance and this time your beautifully bouncing booty better prepare for some serious shakin' and shufflin'. In a mesmerizing melange of megalomaniacally mindbending Miami bass mixed with hip hop, electro and grime, Maral Salmassi and her uncanny co-producer straight outta Cologne, Zero Cash, aka Fabian Stall, highlight their dodgy tracks with deeper and deeper basslines interrupted by casually constructed breaks. Add those dirty, snotty vocals and your ultimate boombox experience is guaranteed to funk you up! A true sawtooth massacre clawed its way onto the AA-Side. In a nu-rave manner 'Trashtalk' brings us a monster of a club hit that should appeal to all friends of that certain drive of digitalism and Soulwax remixes."

"After the creative break that followed the critically acclaimed maxi-series The Sound of Warhammer 40.000 Art of Perception returns to jump start an all new concept. Simply entitled 'Love,' this seven-part vinyl-series covers the vast possibilities of redefining the love song in all its facets. The first release features two songs by Art-of-Perception label owner Maral Salmassi paving the way for the daring diversity that reflects the spirit of this project. 'Forever,' the A side, merges a touch of melancholic electronica with silky vocals and classical string arrangements. A bittersweet symphony that mirrors that gloomy season of winter and leaves a taste of tantalizing darkness. From a totally different point of view comes the motivation for the B side, entitled 'Does it Really Matter?.' A tight and minimal club monster. Rompin' and stompin' beats and furiously funky basslines drawn through by cracking sounds and sizzling samples, which meet an elaborate arrangement. This track hails the joy and playfulness of love itself."

"In a tantalizing team-up with Zombie Nation aka John Starlight, Maral Salmassi returns to the floors with this tech-house-driven connection between sense and action, not under direct human control. Smooth like computational fluid dynamics her voice perfectly performs a powerful persuasion, that turns the mere vocals of that rhythm machine of hard hittin' hydroelectricity into a suggestive state of mind. Over the constant flow of futuristic beats and crisp basslines the deep intonation of the track's gloomy melody wanders in gripping gyrations like a smooth servo is supposed to. Straight from the command line this demonstration of enigmatic engineering aims directly for your stomach to prove that this radiant robotnik technology truly is superior to your filthy entrails. The remixes give you a lesson in digital deconstruction that shows the true meaning of the endless possibilities of algorithmic alteration."

"The soulful voice of Maral Salmassi returns from the soul-seeking search for subtle supremacy to bring you a touch of delightful glamour. By mixing catchy pop and old-schoolish grooves into a composition of unparalleled production performance, Maral Salmassi and her partner in crime, the producer known as Break 3000 also known under Dirt Crew, this dynamic duo of elegance pumps up the stereo and delivers some high-class old-school beats for your boom box. May god have mercy, this track rocks the night away, while the vocals enchant you with their moody and mystical modulations of merry melodies. The B-side features a remix by the one and only DJ Naughty, known for his many releases on Gigolo records as well as his production skills, which shone so often through the tracks of DJ Hell. His approach to remixing this gem evolved into a more minimal mix, that seems to be designed directly for the dancefloors around the world. Mad pumping drums rival with the gripping gyrations of the groove, that clawed its way from Chicago right to your speakers. Shake a leg, this is summer music with an acid touch."
